Workplace information
Primary industry businesses regularly collect, record and report workplace information. This is done to fulfil production, business and legal requirements.
There are different types of information kept by agricultural and horticultural workplaces. These include:
- Financial – for example invoices for purchases and sales, profit and loss statements, taxation records, bank and dividend statements.
- Production – for example records of livestock numbers, growth rates, births and sales, crops sown and harvested, weed and pest control management.
- Marketing - for example product sales, promotional and advertising material.
- Maintenance - for example machinery and vehicle log books and service records, property structure repairs.
- Staff – for example personal and taxation records for employees, time sheets and salaries, work rosters.
- Legal - for example workers’ compensation, public liability and property insurance, deeds and titles.
Workers may be required to contribute to the collection, recording and reporting of a wide range of workplace information. To do this effectively they need to be able to:
- Correctly identify sources of information.
- Obtain appropriate information.
- Record information on standard forms.
- Use correct procedures for the storage of information.
